6 More on Trauma Trauma betrays our beliefs, values, and assumptions trust about the world around us Trauma leads us to engage in sometimes less healthy behaviors to help us through our reactions to these events. These behaviors Are an adaptation not a pathology What kept us alive to get us to you! 6
7 More on Trauma Childhood emotional trauma can shorten lifespan according to Janice Kiecolt-Glaser, PhD (Bottom Line Personal, Vol 31, #21, 11/1/10) Get help!

Acting or feeling as if the traumatic event were recurring (includes a sense of reliving the experience, illusions, hallucinations, and dissociate flashback episodes, including those that occur on awakening or when intoxicated. 12
13 PTSD B. 1 or more of the following: 4. Intense psychological distress at exposure to internal or external cues that symbolize or resemble an aspect for the traumatic event. 5. Physiological reactivity on exposure to internal or external cues that symbolize or resemble an aspect of the traumatic event. 13
14 PTSD C. Persistent avoidance of stimuli associated with the trauma and numbing of general responsiveness as indicated by 3 or more of the following: 1. Efforts to avoid thoughts, feelings, or conversations associated w/the trauma 2. Efforts to avoid activities, places, or people that arouse recollections of the trauma 3. Inability to recall an important aspect of the traumas 4. Markedly diminished interest or participation in significant activities 14
15 PTSD 5. Feeling of detachment or estrangement f/others 6. Restricted range of affect (unable to have loving feelings) 7. Sense of a foreshortened future (no expectation of a career, marriage/life partnership, children, normal life span) 15

17 PTSD E. Duration of the sx in B,C,D, is more than 1 month. F. Distrubance casues clinically significant distress or impariment in socail, occupational, or other important areas of fx. 17
18 PTSD Acute: duration of sx less than 3 months Chronic: duration of sx 3 months or more With Delayed Onset: onset of sx is at least 6 months after stressor 18
19 PTSD Symptoms simplified #1 Re-experience recurrent and intrusive recollections of and/or nightmares about the event flashbacks, hallucinations, or other vivid feelings of the event happening again great psychological or physiological distress when certain things (objects, situations, etc.) remind them of the event. 19
20 PTSD Symptoms simplified #2 Avoidance persistently avoiding things that remind them of the traumatic event including thoughts, feelings, or conversations associated with the incident to activities, places, or people that cause them to recall the event general lack of responsiveness signaled by an inability to recall aspects of the trauma decreased interest in formerly important activities feeling of detachment from others, a limited range of emotion, and/or feelings of hopelessness about the future 20
21 PTSD Symptoms - Simplified #3 Increased arousal Includes difficulty falling or staying asleep, irritability or outbursts of anger, difficulty concentrating, becoming very alert or watchful, and/or jumpiness or being easily startled Note: Folks w/ptsd are at increased risk for suicide 21
22 Post-trauma, women with SUDs Improve less Worse coping Greater distress More positive views of substance use (understandably) 22
23 Connections between SUDs & DV/IPV Witnessing/experiencing childhood family violence Childhood physical and emotional abuse Women in chemical recovery Typically have history of violent trauma Substances used to numb or dissociate - medicinal Violence often seen as a natural part of life Coping mechanism for frustration and anger 23
24 24
25 What is Mental Illness? A medical condition that disrupts a person s thinking, feeling, mood, ability to relate to others, and daily functioning Serious mental illnesses include: major depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and borderline personality disorder Thanks to the National Alliance for the Mentally 25
26 Treatment for Mental Illness? Medication psychosocial treatments such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), interpersonal therapy, peer support groups, and other community services Availability of transportation, diet, exercise, sleep, friends, and meaningful paid or volunteer activities contribute to mental illness recovery Thanks to 26
27 Women with SUDs/Mental Illness Need safety to disclose chemical use May become disruptive when trauma hx becomes evident Face tremendous stigma Seen as bad mothers or people Seen as resistant to treatment or unmotivated Often most need these services among those least likely to seek/receive services 27
28 in fact, IT OFTEN GETS WORSE!
29 Adoptive coping strategies: Avoidance or denial (numbness) Substance abuse & other addictive behaviors Compulsive eating/food disorders Compulsive risk-taking behaviors Risky sex, driving fast or recklessly Gambling or reckless investing/getrich schemes Self-harm: cutting Control obsession Suicidal thoughts and/or attempts 29
30 Dissociation (complete numbing) Not mentioned in DSM-IV as symptom of PTSD though sx of acute stress d/o PTSD actually is a dissociative disorder not anxiety d/o? Crucial to understand process it s the most severe consequence of PTSD 30
31 Trauma-Informed Services Sees the whole person, understanding the context of all behaviors/coping strategies Provides respectful & accurate empathetic listening to best enter the world of the consumer Focus is on the consumer not the symptoms, behavior or problems - & reduction of symptoms not treating an illness 31
32 Trauma-Informed Services Ask: Are our policies and procedures, program, hiring practices, etc. all in line with preventing the re-traumatization of the consumer? OR Are we letting our rules defined as the need for safety - actually mimicking any dynamics of an abusive relationship? 32
33 Traditional Tx Approach Deficit model; focus is on problems Single trauma event = single effect Expected and definable course of treatment & recovery Consumer is defined by their problem (ie, liars; borderline; addict; resistant, etc) Treatment is typically crisis driven 33
34 More on Traditional Approaches Goal is stabilization or reduction of symptoms Staff relationship to consumer is hierarchical (like whom??) PTSD is lens through which we view consumer Safety and trust in agency is a given & expected but not reciprocated 34
35 Trauma-Informed Services Consumer s worldview is due to trauma Distrust, danger, confusion and self-blame are normal Sees how dealing with stresses of trauma causes consumers to adopt less healthy ways to behave Appreciates early traumas inform later complex coping skills, continue to develop over a lifetime Understands trauma informs consumer s identity even when not realized (example next slide) 35
36 Case Example of Unrecognized & Untreated Trauma Sexually abused 12 y.o. girl dissociates during the attack. Later in school, when she has flashbacks, she again dissociates. This leads to her identification as a child with learning disabilities, a label which stays with her for life, and also leads to no trauma assessment or treatment. 36
37 Scenarios Taking the above scenario: As a group, decide how you would treat this consumer using a Trauma-Informed Model 10 mins to briefly discuss Debrief in large group 37
38 Good Drug Treatment Defines success as any positive change Sees obstacles like poverty, mental illness, racism, & more with trauma leading to: hopelessness, despair, self-destruction, self-defeating behaviors, abuse of others, & more Understands that relationships, self-esteem, and selfcare are needed to increase motivation for change Appreciates that change is slow, incremental, and has setbacks Knows setbacks (relapse) are the rule not the exception! 38
39 Good Drug Treatment: Start where the client is Assess the extent & meaning of dx use for client Desired goals Level of ambivalence re: change(s) Share expertise with client in this process ONLY with permission! Help client decide best choice for her drug use/beh change Be flexible with goals and method of achieving them Assist client implement their Change Plan Realize relapse is expected part of change process Appreciate & understand - not overcome resistance 39
40 Understanding Change Denial is typically a product of shame & punitive sanctions (encourages lying not truth-telling) Ambivalence and resistance to change are natural, not pathological Addiction is a relationship. Tx must offer the same support or respect that it can t 40
41 Coping with trauma can feel like walking through fog. It s hard to tell where you are and what s happening
42 New Integrated Services Emphasis is on whole person how you lead your life. How can I come to understand this person fully? Focus not just on functioning Agency message becomes your behavior makes sense given your circumstances. Consumers begin to see their behaviors as coping and brave, not pathology and unhealthy; no character flaws here (12-Step language) 42
43 New Integrated Services Coping skills and strategies lead to improved empowerment and self-efficacy Trauma viewed as complex PTSD resulting from chronic &/or repeated stressors Strength-based approach Consumers actively involved in all aspects of treatment planning and services We are equal partners 43
44 New Integrated DV/IPV Services Safety guaranteed - not from other consumers but from perpetrators Priority is on choice and autonomy SU/A seen as coping strategy to survive trauma/abuse and treated accordingly Agency becomes collaborator, not fixer of loves/savior Consumer becomes Change Agent powerful! 44
45 We are never healed from trauma, simply transformed. The Phoenix
46 It s possible but not easy - at first.
47 We believe We have not walked in your shoes so we can t fully understand what you re going through You are the only expert in your life; we need your help to assist you In you & your capabilities, and in your Concerned Significant Others ability to support you 47
48 What works? *Exposure (most effective) EMDR (not w/schizophrenia or SUDs?) Narrative Therapy Mourning (not for all) Motivational Enhancement Therapy/MI Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) & other behavior therapies *Seeking Safety Somatic Experiencing (SE) Therapy (Peter Levine, PhD) *Psychopharmacology 48
49 Feeling loved and supported Can make all the difference in how you cope or don t with traumatic events in your life
50 Remember: PTSD affects about 7.7 million American adults Women are more likely to develop PTSD than men Some evidence that susceptibility runs in families PTSD is often accompanied by depression, substance abuse disorders, or one or more of the other anxiety disorders Thanks to 50
51 Experiencing Grounding (10min)
52
53 What can we do? Listen more than talk Gently help consumers link SUD & PTSD Discuss current - not past - problems Listen to consumer behaviors Get training! Appreciate that substances do solve PTSD symptoms 53
54 Language is crucial: Abstinent, sober, or drug-free Powerful; empowered Women united for women Supportive relationships Not clean Not Powerless No Gossiping Not enabling or co- dependency 54
55 What shouldn t we do? Don t explore past trauma(s) In general, no psychodynamic work at first No autobiographies until stable Don t ask about the trauma or the triggers Gently guide conversation to present problems Use complex reflections to highlight strengths 55
56
57 When is someone ready for trauma processing? Sometimes never! Able to remain abstinent or moderate for some time Able to control some destructive behaviors Able to use some coping skills Can ask for help Is in a system of care (treatment, etc.) Willing to begin trauma work Has no major current crises, i.e., DV/IPV, homelessness 57
58
59 There is great danger in re-traumatizing consumers!
60 We should be humbled in the presence of our clients for they are the heroes of their lives. --- Scott D. Miller
61 We can help by being a bridge between the old and the new
62 More we can do: Be willing to try new things; model healthy change for consumers (which means show them it s hard but do-able) Believe the consumer & their CSOs are their most important resource See opportunities not problems Build alliances with other disciplines (MDs, AOD, other agencies, etc) Be flexible with staff re: how they approach the job Try walking in the consumer s shoes Know we can t know everything & be OK with that Have a great sense of humor! 62
